Article Synopsis
  • - The study aimed to assess the optimization of common computed tomography (CT) procedures by measuring the volume computed tomography dose index (CTDIvol) and dose-length product (DLP) during various examinations.
  • - Results indicated that variations in CTDIvol and DLP were primarily due to differences in the techniques employed, with specific values established for different CT procedures across multiple hospitals.
  • - The findings, including key CTDIvol values (40.9, 9.0, 9.4, and 16.2 mGy) and corresponding DLP values (900, 360, 487, and 721 mGy.cm), provide a foundation for enhancing the optimization of CT procedures in the country.
